log(5)125 =
log(5) 5^(3) =
3log(5) 5 =
3 (1) = 3
Remember for any log base if the coefficient is the same as the base then the answer is '1'
Hence
log(10)10 = 1
log(a) a = 1
et.seq.,
You can convert the log base '5' , to log base '10' for ease of the calculator.
Log(5)125 = log(10)125/log(10)5
Hence
log(5)125 = log(10) 5^(3) / log(10)5 =>
log(5)125 = 3log(10)5 / log(10)5
Cancel down by 'log(10)5'.
Hence
log(5)125 = 3
NB one of the factors of 'log' is log(a) a^(n)
The index number of 'n' can be moved to be a coefficient of the 'log'.
Hence
log(a) a^(n) = n*log(a)a
Hope that helps!!!!!

What 'logarithm base are you using. If Base '10' per calculator The log(10)125 = 2.09691 However, You can use logs to any base So if we use base '5' Then log(5)125 = 3 Because 125 = 5^3
Due to the rubbish browser that we are compelled to use, it is not possible to use any super or subscripts so here goes, with things spelled out in detail: log to base 2a of 2b = log to base a of 2b/log to base a of 2a = [(log to base a of 2) + (log to base a of b)] / [(log to base a of 2) + (log to base a of a)] = [(log to base a of 2) + (log to base a of b)] / [(log to base a of 2) + 1]

To make a natural log a log with the base of 10, you take ten to the power of you natural log. Ex: ln15=log10ln15=log510.5640138 I'm sorry if you don't have a calculator that can do this, but this will work.
To enter a natural log, press the LN button. To enter a log with base 10, press the LOG button. To enter a log with a base other than those, divide the log of the number with the log of the base, so log6(8) would be log(8)/log(6) or ln(8)/ln(6). (The ln is preferred because in calculus it is easier to work with.)
